Region 1-A Softball Semifinals Cloudland falls in defensive battle to Cosby 2-1

Published 10:27 am Wednesday, May 15, 2019

The Cloudland Lady Highlanders made the trip to Cosby Monday evening looking to advance to the Region 1-A softball final contest and more importantly a sectional berth on Thursday with a shot at the state tournament.

From the start, the Lady Highlanders came out and jumped to a 1-0 lead after the first inning as Karah Fields opened the game with a single and came around to score on a Jasmine Birchfield triple.

From that point, however, the Lady Eagles of Cosby rose to the occasion and shut the Lady ‘Landers down over the next six innings of play as Fields added another single as did Heaven Caraway but that was all Cloudland could muster as their season came to a heart-breaking end.
